Study aim
-
The effects of active exercises during dialysis on uremia and hyperphosphatemia in hemodialysis patients
-
Design
-
This study is a randomized clinical trial, two groups (intervention and control group), one blind strain, with a sample size of approximately 66 patients. Minimization software will be used for randomization.
-
Settings and conduct
-
The location of the study will be the dialysis department of Khurshid Hospital, Isfahan. At first, the letter of introduction to conduct the research will be presented to the head of the department, and then the sampling will be done, the sports program under study will be taught and it will be done in each dialysis session under the supervision of the researcher. Finally, the blood sample will be sent to check and compare the results. Blinding will be done by the data analyst.
-
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
-
Inclusion criteria: age over 18 years, fixed number of dialysis sessions per week, length of dialysis period more than 3 months, ability to perform active range of motion exercises and pedaling independently, ability to teach exercises, stable hemodynamics during sessions Hemodialysis.
Exclusion criteria: pregnancy, history of cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases and strokes, uncontrolled blood pressure, uncontrolled diabetes.
-
Intervention groups
-
Each sample in the intervention group started a sports program including active joint range of motion exercises by raising and lowering the limbs and rotating movements, and then in the following weeks, according to the protocol, they started pedaling a stationary bike or a mini bike while will do dialysis. The control group only received routine care during dialysis.

Main outcome variables
